So that leak was fake? They got a tonne right so far. They probably were threatened that their balls would be cut off if they didn't deny it. Ridiculous pricing again for the VC titles.

Jesus, ffs, giving time to Affordable Space Adventure. Scraping the barrel much? It's a ridiculous price at €20. Prepare for failure. Affordable my @rse.

Not started well. Nice Lucas is back but paying €4 for one character in Mewtwo is not on when the whole game cost €50. New game announced, Yoshi's Oooooly Ooooorld. The Yarn Yoshi amiibo look brilliant.

http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Misc-/Nintendo-Direct/Latest-Nintendo-Direct/Nintendo-Direct-698557.html This is better than Twitch. Twitch gets crazy at times and crashes. @Serebii Nothing wrong with 48 I just said they're very often shorter.

Exactly. Point proven. Hopefully we'll get the European Directs length.

That's the Japanese Directs length. They could be getting more like Xenoblade Chronicles X which is coming out over there at the end of the month. And often there Directs are longer than ours.

That's a really silly statement. MK8, Smash, Pikmin 3, Wind Waker HD, MH3U, ZombiU, tonnes more 3rd party games, a load of VC and indie games. Excuse me for not liking or not excusing lazy efforts. I want Zelda, Xenoblade X. Will see about Yoshi's Woolly World, the same with Starfox but we know nothing about them, would be buying Splatoon but I'm making a stand against Nintendo's decision to omit voice chat. If they announce Metroid or F-Zero I'll be delighted.

I might as well watch the Direct, no point missing one now. I can keep one eye on the movie and the other on the Direct. That way I can zone out when they start talking about the boring stuff like Mario Maker, Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition or similar dribble.

You never know, it could be a double entendre.

I've been thinking about what NX might mean. Could NX stand for annex? To attach oe append to a larger or more significant device. That could have several possibilities.

I'm not going to watch this live. Don't expect anything good so I'll most likely watch a movie this evening and catch up later which will be a first for me.

Just checked Nintendo Land from launch and that doesn't expire until 30/05/16. Bizarre way of doing things. [TWEET]583257583860989952[/TWEET] Nintendo Europe has added a new physical reward to its Stars catalogue. You can now order a*Mario Kart 8 Folder & Bookmark Set from Club Nintendo which will set you back 1500 Stars. The description says the*package comprises two sturdy card folders sporting Mario and Bowser, plus other characters from Mario Kart 8. There’s also a pair of spiffy bookmarks to complete the combo. The folders measure 24cm x 30cm, and the bookmarks are 5cm x 15cm.

I looked at the codes on my 3rd party codes and they don't expire until next year at least, so these should be fine? I think it's now that the recent releases as Nintendo realised they were shutting down the service, they slapped codes on for 31/03/15. So they're honouring codes from over 2 years ago but someone who bought Zelda Majora's Mask last month is screwed? That's pretty unfair.

F***! I misread what was on their website. I thought they meant that games from April 1st wouldn't ship with codes anymore but we could still register the older games until September. So only digital codes are valid until 20th April and that's it? No more registering of anything? This wasn't made clear enough. They find ways to annoy me nearly every day. There were 3rd party Wii U codes I was going to use but keep the 1st party codes intact.

That Mewtwo figure is so bad it's nearly believable except I seen it nearly 2 months ago.

Dragon Quest X Version 3 Trailer When are we ever going to to get this? The hullabaloo that was made when this was announced all the way back near the start of the Wii. Only finally came out near the end when the Wii was dead and I think launched alongside the Wii U version or near enough. It's a frustrating situation, it's something I try to banish from my memory because it only p1sses me off whenever I think about it. We may never see it, it's probably safe to say we won't. And then there's talk of a new DQ. What the hell's going to happen with that?

I don't expect anything amazing. A look at MK8's DLC will probably be the highlight for me. Everything else we've seen before. It's too close to E3 for a huge surprise in a Direct I suspect. The Treehouse Live event after the presentation, they might as well have said it's Splatoon. It has to be and that's the kind of thing I'm talking about where there's no surprises. I'll gratefully take them if there are any though. While it's a great game, I don't want things like a Super Mario Sunshine HD remake, it was something talked about long ago. I'd prefer original games and I can still remember SMS vividly though it's over a decade since I played it. Twilight Princess is maybe a remake I'd like but is it really necessary? It would need a couple of tweaks like padding out the vast world with a few more things to do.

Why The Nintendo NX's Price Doesn't Matter - Tech Fetish Podcast 229 You thought you had a problem with the BBC article yesterday Serebii? Get a load of these clueless f**ks spouting rubbish and misinformation. They need a good clattering before kicking them off. That Alaina Yee is clueless, Justin at least corrects them at some points. Can anybody get on this panel? They're not Nintendo fans nor knowledgeable enough to be talking about them. This question should be asked again to usual NVC crew of Jose, Brian and Peer.

Mario Kart 8 with Furious 7's Michelle Rodriguez - IGN Plays "Now I regret picking the monkey". Who doesn't know who Donkey Kong is? And Mario Kart Wii couldn't have been the last MK game she played if she's ever played at all. Unless she is just awful. She didn't know what items were for, how to drift or speed boost off jumps.

Nintendo reconfirms that Splatoon is launching in May(in America at the very least) [TWEET]583003343078887425[/TWEET]

The next 22 hours I expect will be full of false rumours given the day that's in it right up until the Direct airs. I still haven't dismissed that German NOE leak. Already a few things from it have proved correct though nothing earth shattering.

They should announce a price drop of €50 for the Wii U. But they won't.
